Racing thoughts are the worst. I’m lucky, I stopped getting them ten years ago for the most part. I’m glad your anxiety and the other things are under control. ---

> [@moon](#): > > I havent been officially diagnosed but yes she is a woman Okay, just read my screenshot from Microsoft Co-Pilot. I personally believe ADHD is a gender-biased diagnosis. I was diagnosed with ADHD as a kid. I think its bullshiet. ---

Stop with the sexist posts. @yinyang patients aren’t treated unfairly if the doctor is a woman. ---

I don’t think @yinyang is sexist. He’s saying that there is a gender bias among doctors. He never said that this is the situation in this case: [Yes, medical studies show significant differences in how patients are diagnosed based on both the patient’s gender and the doctor’s gender. A patient’s likelihood of receiving an accurate, timely diagnosis shifts depending on the gender makeup of the medical interaction. Overall, female patients face the highest rates of delayed or missed diagnoses, particularly when they are treated by male doctors]–AI Gemini ---

> [@yinyang](#): > > Why cannot I ask that question? It’s perfectly legitimate You didnt answer her question. Why would you ask if the doctor was a woman? You have a long history dating back to the old forum of being a woman hater/being very sexist. I sense you think poorly of women doctors. ---

The majority of women diagnosing boys and young men with ADHD is obvious as stated in my screen shot. [Next page](https://schizophreniasupport.discourse.group/t/dr-thinks-i-have-adhd-and-bipolar/8165.md?page=2)
